A few weeks ago, I had two British soccer coaches staying at my parents' house with me, and we were watching Deal of No Deal, and one of the first things one of the coaches mentioned was that in the British version, they don't have the women holding the cases.

Oh, America...

Also, I can see the comments coming that say, "You hate objectifying women but you're okay with objectifying men you big stupid hypocrit!!!!" Just a heads up. :)

To place unattractive people up and say "It's a different kind of beauty" is incorrect.

One thing that's important to accept, I think, is that not everyone is beautiful. Just like some people are good at something, and some are bad at it, some people are beautiful, some aren't.

To try to push some "everyone is beautiful in their own way" is unrealistic. It reminds me of the stupid coddling that early age schools tend to do now, where in sports events, score isn't kept, so as not to hurt kids feelings. So that "everybody wins!".

It's not realistic. It's not how life goes.

The world isn't here to hold people's hands, and boost their self-esteem, and coddle them. To prop people up into a false reality just causes them more damage in the long run.

It's just how it is. Some people are appealing to look at physically, some aren't. That's just life.

Why do we need any people (men or women) to stand next to those metal boxes with numbers? It's not like these shows can't afford the technology to have the boxes open with a remote control or some such device.
